#32 Movies: Benjamin Button

Wow.

This was an amazing movie.

I'm not going to say much about it, because everyone should go see it. It was so unusual, so creative, and just so good! It was very well done, and really draws you in to all of the emotions.

I think my favorite thing is just how the movie makes you think. Its not just the fact that you've never seen a movie at all like it, but all the little proverbial quotes in it as well that just make you stop and think.

Here are some of my favorites: (don't worry, none will ruin the movie) (oh, and by no means is this a complete list...there are so many more!)

"We are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss."

"Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward."

"We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are?"

"You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went, you can curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go."

"It's funny how sometimes the people we remember the least make the greatest impression on us. "

"Don't let anyone tell you different! You got to do what you're meant to do!"

"Sometimes we’re on a collision course, and we just don’t know it. Whether it’s by accident or by design, there’s not a thing we can do about it."

"Have I ever told you I've been struck by lightning seven times? Blinded in one eye; can't hardly hear. I get twitches and shakes out of nowhere; always losing my line of thought. But you know what? God keeps reminding me I'm lucky to be alive."

"Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people dance."

"For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
